COVID-19 - Our Schoolroom

Every Sunday night, as the evening is winding down, the boys head for the garage and bring in two folding banquet tables. They push them close together end to end and then they cover each one with brightly colored paper. They leave a little distance between them for the Chromebook cords to run down to the floor where they attach to an extension cord.

Chairs are brought in, computers, pencil boxes and a vase full of writing tools. Sometimes they stake a spot by writing all over the paper, sometimes they just leave it for scribbled notes and math papers.

It looks good; the promise of a new week.

But by Friday morning, it looks more like this.

(At least I gathered up the dirty dishes - which are against the rules - before I snapped the pic!) This is proof that we fought the good fight. There is NO way I am letting my kids have an early summer vacation.

That just wouldn't be fair.
